title: [Analisys of nursing diagnosis risk of falls in adults and children].
abstract: Falls are a problem for all age groups but it affects children and the elderly in particular. Falls are a major public health problem as they not only have physical, social and economic consequences but also they are associated to high mortality rates. It has been proven that the cause of falls is multifactorial. Therefore, the implementation of a Multifactorial Fall Prevention Program is extremely important. For these reasons, this research study is done based on other studies already published. Falls linked to specific factors are analyzed in order to prove through evidence risk factors established by the NANDA for Risk Fall Diagnosis or if some of them can not be justified and, therefore, should not be classified as risk factors.
